Broken navigation between branches/tags when line is selected

Summary

Can't navigate between branches/tags when viewing a specific line in the basic file viewer (not Web IDE which doesn't yet support linking to a specific line).

Steps to reproduce

Note: These steps reproduce for me on 13.8.3-ee, but not gitlab.com.

1. In a repo with a default branch and either a 2nd branch or a tag, view any file that exists on both the default branch and the other branch/tag, using the basic file viewer.
2. Click the line number on line 1 to select it, which adds #L1 to the page URL.
3. Use the branches/tags dropdown to switch to the other ref.

What is the current bug behavior?

The page redirects to the repo root with this error message even if the selected line DID exist on the selected branch/tag, and even if the selected branch/tag actually references the exact same commit.

".gitignore#L1" did not exist on "v1.0.0"

What is the expected correct behavior?

Should navigate to the specific line on the selected branch/tag when it exists, as if I had manually edited the page URL to replace, for example, "master" with "v1.0.0".

Relevant logs and/or screenshots

Line 1 is selected on branch "master":

Trying to navigate to tag v1.0.0 fails:

But manually navigating by editing the URL succeeds:
